Special Effects have been evolving for years it all started in 1895 when Alfred Clarke created what is considered the first-ever special effect. While filming a reenactment of the beheading of Mary, Queen of Scots, Clarke instructed an actor to step up to the block in Mary's costume. As the executioner brought the axe above his head, Clarke stopped the camera, had all the actors freeze, and had the person playing Mary step off the set. He placed a Mary dummy in the actor's place, restarted…

view the whole cinema in black and white. Some of the film can be seen as grey due to the different shades of black that occur throughout the movie. The Great Train Robbery took place during the 1900s where technology was not as developed as it is today, because of this black and white was normal for that time. Many people today will not pick to view a movie if it is in black and white as they are more interested in something with color. A person may be drawn to a black and white film for the…

Film was introduced to many movements. I chose to write about The French New Wave which is also known as “La Nouvelle Vague”. The French New Wave happened during 1958 to 1964. The French New Wave was started by a group of French film makers who wanted to create their movement in film and they did that by changing how a film could be made. The French New Wave turned out to be the biggest movement of them all and also made an impact on all filmmakers. Some of the main directors who created the new…

The movie Risen is unique in the fact that it tells of the crucifixion of Christ from an initial non-believer 's perspective. I have never viewed a religious movie before, whether it be at home or in a theatre. I chose to see Risen in the theatre on a Saturday night in order to observe not only the film itself, but the atmosphere in general, including the drive both to and from the theatre. From noisy and crowded to quiet and focused, by the end of Risen, the viewer’s reactions, including my own…

The world of today is made possible due to the advancement of technology. Different fields of professions incorporate technology into their line of work to improve skills for better achievement. For example, the film industry started off simply with silent black and white motion pictures filmed by constantly cranking a camera handle back in the 1890s. As the time passed, the world entered into a technological evolution. Slowly, films were being made grander with each decade. Silent motion…

why Banksy is disappointed to Thierry is when he created his supposed to be street art documentary that he promised to every artist was kind of a disaster and terrible movie. Banksy hope that Thierry can make a good documentary and a chance to tell the world the importance and acceptance of street art but it turns into unwatchable movie. Banksy come to realization that “maybe Thierry is not really a film maker but a person whose having a mental problem with a camera” (Banksy) The film entitled…

In the opening sequence of the 1979 film, Apocalypse Now, the technique of double exposing film is used repeatedly. The origins of the technique date back to early photographers in the late 1800’s and the technique was translated into filmmaking very soon after the birth of cinema. The first use of the double exposure in film was in The Great Train Robbery, which was released in 1903, but the technique exploded in the 1920’s when cinema became a more well-known art form. The double exposure…

John Williams music did not influence any other piece of music. John Towner Williams music has shaped music for movie sound tracks. Without John Williams sounds tracks to movies would not be the same. John Williams is the god of movie sound tracks. In my opinion, without John Williams, movies would still be movies. We do not necessarily need music for movies, though it does add a nice affect to them. I do not like John…

Symbolism in movie are something that are not to be taken literally. Symbolism can be anything. It is an object used to symbolize something different that is much deeper. It can be said that symbols are the art of hiding the meaning behind something that is not-related. A symbol helps making the content more strong and powerful. Symbolism today has been one of the important part of the cinemas. In the movie The Adjustment Bureau we can see a lot of symbols being used, each having its significant…
